What is the importance of having the correct cartridge head stamp?

Correct in terms of the manufacturer or the caliber?
Cases from the same mfg are more likely to be the same weight (see the "Does it make a difference" discussion above).
Caliber is only useful as a pointer to what the round might fit, depending on whether or not you're making your .40-65 from .45-70. The former will fire just fine in a .45-70 rifle (voice of experience here) but not will not be terribly accurate.
.32-40 made from .30-30 of limited interchangability so not a problem.
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amatuers built the Ark, professionals built the Titanic.
